Homes.com Launches New Consumer Site for RE/MAX

NORFOLK, Va., Dec 06, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) --
Homes.com and RE/MAX have launched an entirely new remax.com, optimized for use on desktop, tablet, and handheld devices. Homes.com and RE/MAX announced their strategic online partnership in March, after Homes.com was selected following a rigorous vendor selection process. Since that time, the companies have jointly launched a suite of Homes.com-powered RE/MAX mobile applications for iPad, iPhone, and Android devices, culminating in the new remax.com website. Homes.com continues to prove itself as the leader in providing innovative property search technology, powering high-traffic real estate portals for RE/MAX and other national brands.

"The launch of the updated website is another significant milestone in our successful partnership with RE/MAX," said Brock MacLean, executive vice president of Homes.com. "We're honored to leverage the Homes.com and Homes Connect technology platforms to power the new remax.com as well as other high-traffic national real estate sites."
More than just a redesign, the new remax.com offers a simple user interface with the ability to create personal preferences, giving homebuyers and sellers easy access to what matters most: millions of home listings with larger photos and helpful information. The search experience is more powerful than ever, featuring data on more than 87 million properties nationwide, both for sale and those previously sold. This gives every visitor a complete market perspective on any home they are considering buying or selling.

"Using Homes.com's innovative consumer and mobile technology, RE/MAX is thrilled to be the first franchisor to provide a consistent website experience across desktops, tablets and smartphones," said Margaret Kelly, CEO, RE/MAX LLC. "Today's consumers start their home search online, and with Homes.com's unique technology, we're able to deliver a personalized consumer experience."
As a companion to the new remax.com, the new Homes Connect RE/MAX Edition is now available to RE/MAX sales associates directly from Homes.com. This special, branded edition of Homes.com's award-winning marketing platform provides RE/MAX sales associates with a personalized agent or broker edition of the remax.com website, lead cultivation tools, and best-in-class marketing applications, providing the ability to easily create CMA's, neighborhood reports, and more. Also available in the RE/MAX Edition is Social Impact, an industry-first tool that allows agents to easily manage their online presence, social networking activity, and online reputation.
